Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requires that each cohort of Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood (HMRF) grantees collect data and report on a comprehensive set of performance measures as part of their grants. The 2015 cohort of grantees used data collection and reporting instruments approved by the Office of Management and Budget under approval number 0970-0490. This new information collection request (ICR) covers the performance measures data collection and reporting instruments for the 2020 cohort. For the 2020 cohort, the instruments used by the 2015 cohort were revised by ACF to reflect its current priorities, better align the data with the characteristics of HMRF programs and clients, and improve the grantee user experience.
